15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
Economic policy is firmly focused on opposing increases in taxes and state fees, arguing that such measures lower the standard of living and place a heavy burden on consumers, particularly pensioners. There is criticism of the government's efforts to save money at the expense of the poorest segments of society through the reform of the unemployment insurance system. Furthermore, there is support for protecting lower-income groups from inflation and rising prices.

15th Estonian Parliament, 4th sitting, press briefing.
Economic views are strongly opposed to raising taxes, particularly regarding the taxation of pensions, which is viewed as an unfair way to disregard the national debt. The speaker stresses that high taxes on fossil fuels destroy competitiveness and industry. A low tax burden and fiscal discipline (respect for debt obligations) are preferred.
